The word "impenned" is not commonly used in contemporary English, and does not have a well-established etymology. However, it can be analyzed based on its components.

The verb "penned" is the past participle of "pen", which means to write or create with a pen. "Pen" itself comes from the Latin word "penna", meaning "feather" or "quill". Over time, it evolved to refer to the instrument used for writing.
